MIR. POWDERLE'S IDEAS.
How the General Master Workman AnaIyzc,
The Government Laws.

General Master Workman Powdcrly in
the last number Of the knights Official or
gan, has issued three circulars to the Or
der. One, entitled Brave Men Behind
Gatling Guns, warns the workmcn against
force in the settlement Of labor difficulties
and reads lesson to capitalists who advO-
cate force to settle strikes. Another, en-
titled Speak Well of the Dead" defends
henry Ward Bcecher and shows he was a
triCuu Of the wOrkingman. The third is
very lengthy and is entitled, "Wantcd-A
New Government" In it Mr.. Powdcrly
relates that in discussion with capitalist
he read part of the Declaration of Indc-
pendencc referring to all being created
equal. The source was not recognized and
the ideas were dccried as revolutionary.
MIR. Powderly then analyses at some length
what is meant by the Declaration and dc.
cldes that although our forcfathers over
threw monarchy, they did not overthrow
the aristocracy. The new shape the aris
tocratic idea took is that Of railroad mo
| nnopolies and coal cliqueS, and against these

Oncc-summcr was already passing
with light footsteps through the land
when Arnim, at his pupils request,
had rccitcd these dreamy verses, Hor-
tense rose suddenly, and with feverish
haste pluckcd a noscgay from the red
roses and white lilies, which bloolncd
IN wild luNuriance i'll the garden, and
laid it on the table before him. He
carried it in his hand as he went home,
dcIiGhting in its beauty and fragrance.
What dear, kind-hcartcd creature she
was, this little girl Even his mother,
spite of those "reminiscences of 1912,
could but love her.
The next noon when Arnim returned
from the gymnasium, he found q letter
from the Marquis. 1t contained a check
and some obligatory words Of courtesy,
expressing much regret that the les
sons must be discontinued for a season,
as his daughter was about to visit Paris.
Arnim persuaded himself that n brief
pause in the lessons would be the best
thing for him, as his examinations were
near ut hand. He also decided that he
would make no attempt TO bid HortcnsC
farewell, that in his visits TO the forcs
he would chooS" Il path not leading by

A HITCH I'm TIME.
How to Prevent Trousers from Baseing AZ

tho Knees. .,.- T.. N
elbow do ] keep my trousers from
bagging at the knees?" echoed nm old
man who had served many years in the
British navy, in response to New York
Sun reporters question. "Why. that's
one of the simplest things in the worlS
if man only knows how, and will mt
himself TO trouble at first. Jack Tar's
trousers, as you know, are yery close
reefed and built snug and taut all tbe
way down until near the bottom. where
they are given full sail and spread them.
selves well over the boots. They are the
very kind that are apt to BAG at tLo
knees; so one of the first things tbe
young landlubber is taught when he on.
ters the navy Is how to wear them. No
doubt you have often heard of the saiIor
taking hitch in his trousers eyery time
he sits down, and no doubt you tfonobt
he did it merely as q sort of introduction
to the yarn he was about to spin. Yes
few people would imagine that the hitch
is what keeps the trousers straight; but
| just think moment and you will recoI.
lect that they fit very tight around the
| knee, and that whenever you sit down
and poke out your knees you stretch the
cloth. That's what makes the baggino
when you sit down; you leave plenty Of
! slack for the knees to play in, and your
clothes will wear out before they will
bag. After taking tho hitch few times
it will become almost second nature to
you, and you will do it unconsciously
every time you sit down. The hitch may
be simple, but it's worth moro to man
than one of those patent So trouser
stretchers. AS for the coat, not one in Il
dozen knows how to button 1t so that it
will set well. The proper way is to be-
gin at the bottom button and go up.
Not day passes but I have to laugh at
people who say they are going to button
their coats up, and then calmly proceed
to button them down"

Enough of this onsense''-recalled
them to their tasks. Then they would
again sit opposite each other, Hortense
repeating while the dimples in he,

"Ich habe, dx hast, er hat," etc.
But tshe remained rapt and silent when
her teacher read aloud some German
poem. THAT is music" she would
say. 81 feel the meaning of the words
if do not understand them"
He never wearied of reading to her
from Eichendorf, his favorite poet.
These lines impressed her as so beauti-
full that she begged him to copy them
for her in French characters so that she
might learn them by heart:
~ hear q brool1let murmur,
Now far, now near, 1T seems;
Through the forest ~ its murmur
pass on as in dreams.
The nghtingales trill softly
In the silent, lcafy ways;
And the burden OF their singing
Is tho lovely olden day..
Beneath tho moonbeam's simmer
1t seems SO fair, SO near,
That castle in the valley
That lies so far from here
AS If within that garden
or roses white and red,
She still for mo were waiting
My darling, long years dead"

III And, DeSlueS, alueF6f was one llfinS
remem brance that, like pastel picture
undimned by time, rose constantly
before him. Waking and dreaming
there was ever present to him the face
of n young girl wholly unlike these
dark-eycd foreign beautios-a pale, al
most childish face with piquant nose,
lustrous blue eyes, Ight-brown hair-a
delicate, petite figure with charming
hands and feet, and joyous, musical
voice.
This fair maiden who had thus capt
urcd the fancy of n somewhat grave,
bookish student, was the only child of
II French CmiGrant, Il widpwer, who
lived proudly isolated in the vine
Mrcathrd house, intrusting the educa-
ton OF his daughter to an elderly
French govcrncSs. The garden wall
had then, as now, an artiStically-
wrought latticcd gate on the forest
side. In the fine season, Arnim, who
loved to study in the open air, would
take his Greek and Latin books to the
forest, where he was sure to meet q
child-likc figure in white dress with
rich cmbroidcries and dainty ribbons,
skipping up and down the broad, pcb-
blCd path. 70 the amazcmcnt of our
STUDENT she always wore loose, light
colorcd kid gloves. Sometimes she
stood close to the gate, her graceful
head pressed against the cold iron bars
the broad-brimmcd hat hanging from
her neck by its blue ribbon, while the
eyes that gazcd wiStfully into the deep
green of the forest mayhap caught
glimpse of the student whowalkcd hes
itatimgly past, and sometimes let q bool
fall t" impede his progress.
THIS blonde child was quite unlill
